Hopefully you let your brain take over and were able to play that much smarter as opposed to harder

I remember once we were a guy short and had to play the entire game that way. It was beyond brutal and our opponent was very worthy to begin with. There was no winning, but it was a moral victory to us that we kept it somewhat respectable.

Playing in a few games with 6 or 7 guys and an ironman tourney where you play 5v5 with 5 guys for 12 min games, you learn to pick your spots. It also helps doing dry land. My teammates give me **** bc I'm one of those that likes working out for fun so I eat up the times we're short.
